what is a manx actor

A Manx actor is an actor who originates from the Isle of Man, an island in the Irish Sea in Northern Europe. The Manx are an ethnic group with significant Norse-Gaelic, Celtic, and English influences, and their native culture has a recent Goidelic Celtic language. Some notable Manx actors include Samantha Barks, Jamie Blackley, Amy Jackson, Dursley McLinden, Anthony Quayle, Evie Killip, and Joe Locke. Joe Locke, a Manx actor who starred in the Netflix show "Heartstopper," has recently called for a change in the rule that forbids gay men from donating blood, calling it "archaic".
